I really believe what is said about TIME, that it goes faster the older you get, being relative to how long you’ve been alive. Think back to a week, a month, a year as a child compared to now. This is proof positive of TIME being slave to subjective perception. So if it’s to some extent controlled by the human mind, is there any way (besides drugs) we can master our perception? Can you meditate to make it seem to go slower? Maybe. It’s such an abstract blur to me. When I think back to any time recently I have a hard time distinguishing between two weeks ago and two months. I could probably be more mindful and thoughtful and not live in such chaos of TIME. It feels like my own choice, though, recognizing that it is so abstract and allowing it to be.
Interestingly, on a day to day basis, I’m organized. I always know when I’m supposed to work and I always get there on time. I don’t make plans with people and then get confused and forget. I feel like day-to-day TIME exists on a different plane then recent-past TIME or even near-future TIME. Just more evidence of how surreally subjective it is.
